Objective

Complications associated with implant surgery can have a devastating effect on the outcome or the prognosis of dental implant treatment. This 1-day seminar will focus on how to identify, avoid and successfully manage FORTY potential surgical implant complications. At the end of this program, participants will have a better understanding of the etiology, prevention and management of as many as 40 complications related to surgical implant therapy.

Topics include:

Preoperative conditions that might lead to complications
• Inadequate vertical and horizontal restorative space
• Limited jaw opening & interarch distance
• Inadequate alveolar width for optimal bucco-lingual positioning

Intraoperative Complications in Implant Placement
• Incorrect angulations (bucco-lingual and mesio-distal)
• Malalignment
• Nerve injury
• Irregular, sharp or too narrow crestal ridge
• Extensive resorption of the mandibular alveolar bone
• Curved extraction socket
• Acute or chronic infection at the insertion site
• Retained root tips at the insertion site
• Overheating the bone during implant site preparation
• Sinus and nasal floor perforation
• Accidental partial or complete displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus
• Accidental displacement of dental implants into the maxillary incisive canal
• Deep and shallow implant placement
• Complications in flapless implant placement
• Implant fracture
• Excessive torque during insertion / compression necrosis
• Inadequate initial stability / loose implant

Postoperative complications
• Postoperative pain and its management
• Incision line opening & proper suturing techniques
• Cover screw exposure during the healing period
• Bone loss during the healing period / Thread exposure
• Implant mobility during second-stage surgery
• Implant Periapical Lesion (IPL) and the retrograde peri-implantitis
• Radiotherapy and dental implants / osteoradionecrosis
• Shallow vestibule secondary to ridge augmentation
